Summary: The study explored the relationships between emotional symptomatology and perceived social support according to gender identity and sexual orientation in LGBTQ+ university students. Transgender individuals showed more emotional symptoms and stress and less perceived social support from family. Depression and anxiety were found to be negatively associated with perceived social support from friends and family. Perceived social support was seen to decrease emotional symptomatology even when controlling for current stress in LGBTQ+ students.

Summary: This systematic review examined the effects of curricula and training on LGBTQ+ health for nursing students. The findings suggest that these interventions can improve students' knowledge, attitudes, and skills in interacting with LGBTQ+ individuals and reduce health disparities. Therefore, it is important to prioritize the integration of LGBTQ+ health content and competencies in nursing curricula.

Summary: Recent educational policies in the United States have focused on promoting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career-focused courses for high school students. However, the impact of these courses on college STEM persistence for students with learning disabilities (LDs) is not clear. A nationally representative study found that earning more units of applied STEM (AS) courses in high school did not influence college enrollment or major selection in non-AS STEM fields for students with LDs. However, it did increase their likelihood of considering and ultimately choosing AS-related STEM majors in college.

Summary: This study compared physical activity behaviors and perceptions between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ college students. The results showed that LGBTQ+ students engaged in less aerobic exercise and resistance training, and had lower perceptions of exercise benefits and higher perceptions of barriers. LGBTQ+ college students are at higher risk of not meeting physical activity guidelines, potentially due to more perceived barriers and fewer perceived benefits to exercise.

Summary: This study aims to understand the current fear of negative evaluation among undergraduate nursing students and analyze the factors influencing it. Results showed that undergraduate nursing students at Guizhou Medical University scored an average of (15.90 +/- 7.18) on the fear of negative evaluation scale, indicating a moderate level of fear. Gender, left-behind experience, whether in a romantic relationship, personality, and fear of positive evaluation were found to be important factors influencing the level of fear of negative evaluation. Nursing educators and administrators should be aware of nursing students' evaluation fears and use targeted evaluation strategies to promote the development of high-quality nursing talent.

Summary: Since the implementation of the Gamified Entrepreneurship Courses, it has provided interactive and immersive learning experiences for college students and improved the effectiveness of teaching. However, current research shows that college students' satisfaction with these courses is not yet at the desired level. This study aims to identify the factors and mechanisms that affect college students' satisfaction and found that competence, autonomy, relatedness, and presence are key determinants in helping college students enter a state of flow and ultimately reflect their satisfaction level with the course.
